Eighteen new players to compete for spots on this roster. Eighteen! This can only help the Niners get better. That's not even counting our UDFA class. Skov and Breslin will make that group interesting at the minimum.

Yikes! My hope is that some really good players show they can also dominate on STs so those roster spots can be more versatile. I love the way Ventrone and Osgood play STs but would love them to be replaced by guys capable of being eventual starters...there are so many of them! Still think they will trade some vets for future draft choices before cut down day.

we sure are going to make other teams better when we have to cut some quality players. stupid 53 man limit rule

The only thing dumber than the 53-man rule is the 46-man "active" roster on game days. WTF??? You have 53 guys on a roster of one of the most violent sports in modern history, but you're going to force teams to "sit" 7 of those 53 guys every game JUST BECAUSE???

You have 53 men on a roster. Here's an idea: Just allow all 53 to be active on game day.

Favorite pick from rounds 1-3 is Hyde. Favorite pick from rounds 4-7 is Ellington even tho he's short for my taste. I wanted Desir CB and Moncrief WR but Marcus Martin was a dam good Center/Guard for USC and center is a position of need so that was a good pick too. The Boreland pick threw me for a Loop. I know He hits hard and fills the holes in the run game but his arms are so short and he's only 5'11 and that scares me. But I will say about Boreland is that he was ONE PRODUCTIVE MF at Wisconsin so I hope he'll fill for Bowman til Navorro is ready.

If the players don't want to play extra games, let them not play extra games. Why not? The owners win because they get their extra game(s) and the players win because they don't have to play any more games AND they get more members in the union.

I think that makes a lot of sense. It's like they get an extra bye week during the season.
